DENVER BRONCOS INSPIRED SWEATSHIRTS

The Denver Broncos are on a four game win streak and scheduled to play against the pathetically inept (sorry, too harsh?) San Diego Chargers.  They have arguably the best quarterback in the game, and are solid in all three phases of the game.  No Coach Shanahan, no Tebow, yet they are poised to make a legitimate Super Bowl run.  Given the recent rash of quarterback injuries after week 10, their chances of finding themselves in the hometown of the once gimpy-necked Manning's hometown on February 3, is a very real possibility.

If you're a Denver Armchair Quarterback, don't get left out in the cold.  Get a Denver Broncos inspired sweatshirt.  There are several styles and designs to choose from, but you might consider saving the hoodie for the Patriots fans.

PRESEASON: MR GOODELL JUST DOESN'T GET IT

Greg Rosenthal from NFL.com wrote a short article on a speech Commissioner Roger Goodell gave at Harvard University on Thursday.  The subject was player health and safety, but he said something pretty disturbing, especially when considering that it was uttered by no less of an authority than the commissioner of the National Football League.

In reference to the preseason, Goodell made the following remark; 

"It just does not meet the standard of quality that the NFL is all about" 

Earth to Roger, the preseason was never intended to meet any quality standards for entertainment, or to be used as some kind of marketable commodity.  Please, for the good of the game, pull your bloated head out of your ass and acknowledge this fundamental truth.  We the people don't have access to Goodell's travel itinerary for the last week, but did he make an unpublicized trip to America's Marijuana Mecca, i.e., Colorado?  Is he simply daft? Anyone with any familiarization with the sacred game of football knows that preseason games are simply scrimmages at the professional level.  They provide coaches with a more realistic environment in which to evaluate their players, making the necessary cuts to get down to the requisite fifty-three (53).  Nothing more, nothing less.  It's a fact, Jack, that some coaches (and Professional Armchair Quarterbacks) couldn't care less if they didn't keep score, but in the name of realism, they do.

Roger-G claimed that his priority is the health and well being of the players and future of the game.  By the sounds of things, he has plans on making the preseason count for something, so that he can somehow increase his financial bottom line.

His concern for the future of the game has nothing to do with the integrity of the sport, but it's economic state.  He'll water down or outright kill the game as we know it in the name of the almighty dollar, pound, yen, or dinar.

HERE IS HOPING ROETHLISBERGER FAKED INJURY

It is a Wednesday morning, yet Monday morning quarterbacks and armchair quarterbacks, particularly Pittsburgh Armchair Quarterbacks, are wondering whether Ben Roethlisberger will be lining up under center this weekend, or anytime soon.

Conventional wisdom tells you not only no, but Hell no, especially when considering coach Mike Tomlin's assessment of the situation.  It seems that the Steelers' signal caller is legitimately done for the next several weeks at a minimum, or is he?  I've looked at the replay a hundred times, several more times in super slow-motion.  Now I'm no expert, but it doesn't look too bad, at least not to me.  It is nowhere near as blatant or painful looking as that Turkey Jones' sack of Terry Bradshaw back in the day.  That infamous sack from 1976 wrecked what was arguably the Steelers' finest season.  This sack has the potential of doing the same, considering that many pundits were considering this to be Big Ben's best season, and many were calling this an MVP season for number 7.

Be that as it may, there is a rumor starting to rise out of the 'Burgh that Ben faked the severity of his injury, and that he isn't quite as incapacitated as he or the Steelers' organization will lead us to believe.

One theory is that Ben, the consummate competitor, is merely playing a mid-season game of one-upmanship with Emmanual Sanders.  Showing his WR how to execute the fine art of faking an injury.  If you recall, this past Friday the NFL announced that it was fining Sanders $15,000 and the Steelers another $35,000 for Sanders taking a flop in the October 21 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The other theory is that Ben was looking at a way to guarantee that he would be by his wife's side whenever she gives birth to baby Ben.  In case you hadn't heard, the Roethlisberger's are expecting their first child in the next couple weeks. 

Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a Thanksgiving turkey.

FUN GEAR FOR VETERANS OF THE COLD WAR

A policy of deterrence and conflict management from those of us that were a part of the military-industrial complex or Intelligence Community, prevented a nuclear exchange during the period from 1947-1991.

Consequently, veterans of the Cold War need to be celebrated.  Sure, there have been little flare ups during the Cold War era, skirmishes (characterized as 'hot flashes') like the Korean "War", Viet Nam and the Soviets war in Afghanistan, but what about the forgotten men and women who endured...  well, the cold?

Harken back to a semi-forgotten era, and show the world that although you might not suffer from a post-traumatic brain disorder, you've never really come in from the cold either.

Purchase a COLD WAR REENACTOR gift on this fine Veteran's Day.

UNIQUE HOUSTON TEXANS INSPIRED SHIRTS

The Houston Texans knocked the snot out of QB Jay Cutler, triumphing over the Chicago Bears 13-6.  RB Arian Foster finished with 102 yards rushing, and a touchdown reception.

The Texans look unstoppable at this point in the season, aside from an unfathomable finish by the "feel good story" Colts, and are most assuredly destined for the post season as the representatives from the AFC South.  The question is, are you and your gear ready?  Get off the couch, up outta your recliner, and purchase a Houston Armchair Quarterback gear.

GIANT PILLOW FOR ANYONE SLEEPING ON THE BENGALS

The New York Giants found out the hard way.  You don't go to sleep on the AFC North in general, or the Cincinnati Bengals in particular.  Actually, the reality is that the loss doesn't come as a huge surprise, given New York propensity for dropping games in November.
